EATING CROW. Grover CLeveLaNp, since his name first came prominently before the people as a presidential candidate, has been posing in many different attitudes, and masquerading in many different disguises, but in none very successfully.

BELVA LOCKWOOD. Wutre the Blaine forces are marching steadily to victory, and the great work of the ign goes on, there is no lack of side shows and side incidents to beguile the tedium of the campaign, Ben Butler may be counted on for something, and he never disappointsan audience. St. John furnishes a text fori able campaign jokes, and camp nume then, when all else fails, we have Belva Lockwood, who, in the classic language of W. S.
